Lie

For those of you who had followed American Idol last season, you’d know that the winner of that season was David Cook.

Hahahaha losers.

Wait…..

* *………………………….

Ouch.

Anyway, David had just released his new album and a few songs in it are really nice.

One that caught my interest when I was slowly sampling one song after another while illegally downloading listening to it online was this song called Lie.

Sure, by the sound of the title, it should be a song about someone lying to/cheating on him. But, it’s not that. This song is actually about asking the person you love to lie rather than speak a hurtful truth.

Check out the lyrics and see for yourself :-

David Cook – Lie

You whisper that you are getting tired
got a look in your eye
looks a lot like goodbye
hold on to your secrets tonight
don't want to know I'm okay with this silence
it's the truth that I don’t want to hear

You're hiding regret in your smile
there's a storm in your eyes, I've seen coming for a while
hang on to the past tense tonight
don't say a word
I'm okay with the quiet
the truth is gonna change everything

(chorus)
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
so lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
look me in the eye lie, lie, lie
lie, lie, lie

I know that there’s no turning back
if we put too much light on this we'll see through all the cracks
let's stay in the dark one more night
don't want to know
I'm okay with this silence
it's truth that I don’t want hear

(chorus)
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
so lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
so look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

Don't want to believe in this ending
let the cameras role on keep pretending
tomorrow's all wrong
if you walk away, just stay

(chorus)
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
so lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart
look me in the eye and lie, lie ,lie

So lie to me and tell me that we're gonna be okay
so lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the day
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart
to look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

I dunno. Maybe I think it’s easier to write a preppy song, but a song with feelings needs real feelings. And kudos to the song writer and lyricist.
